Timothy McVeigh is
And the breathe a sigh of relief
Goodness prevails evil, it seems
Somehow when he's gone, we safer
do we know

Today the paper say Timothy in hell
So okay and all must be well
I remember Oklahoma when put out the blaze
And put Islamic bombing, on the front page
It's like only gays get AIDS, propaganda
Like saying the over when they locked that man up
Wrong! just the beginning, the first inning
for America's soul, the devil's winning
The President is Bush, the Vice a Dick
So a whole lot of fuckin is we gon' get
They wanna raise the babies so the election is fixed
why we don't be fuckin with politics
They bet on that, parents fought and got wet for
Hosed down, bit by dogs, and got blacks into arrest for that
It's all good except for that - we poor
Money, power and is what we kill for, for real

We survive, it's more pride
We stay alive, ready to

A drunken police officer mows down an family in Brooklyn
The judge him go with no bail
It reminds us, of just how worthless our lives are to the system
I struggle, to the situation to my son, it's hard

Niggaz with knowledge is more than than niggaz with guns
They make the guns easy to get and try to keep niggaz
Target the and graffiti with the Prop 21
I know the deal but what the fuck do I tell my son?
I want him right, livin good, respect the rules
He's five years old and he still thinkin is cool
How do I break the that when he gets some size
be percieved as a threat or see the fear in they eyes
It's in they job description to the threat
So 41 shots to the is what he can expect
The precedent is set, don't matter if he the law
I know I'll give my son and make him swallow it all (damn!)
Fuck the pigs! I think the pigs Big and 'Pac too
If they they know who did, they got to
Who they and protect, nigga not you
Cops off of ten G's but they got glocks too
Let you protect yourself, or better yet yourself
Straight into the hospital is where you gotta yourself
They be gettin tips from and rival crews
Doin them favors so they for the drug dealers too
Just enforcers with hate in they holsters
Shoot you in the back, won't face you a soldier
Kurt Loder asked me what I say to a dead wife
Cops kill my people everyday, life

We survive, it's more than
We stay alive, ready to

Terrorists attack the and the World Trade Center
Kills thousand and permanently scars America's false sense of
We see the examples of humanity in the face of the worst
As fire fighters, police officers, workers
And volunteers of all sorts, fight to save
The world never be the same again

My go out to everybody at Ground Zero
Red, black, yellow, white and heroes
more complicated than black and white
To give your own is the greatest sacrifice
But it's hard for me to walk down the
Seeing rats and roaches, crack viles and 40 posters
People broken down years of oppression
Become when they way of life is threatened
It's a hard to have
We lost kids, and dads, people ready to fight for the flag
Damn, when did get this bad?
America kill the innocent too, the cycle of is sad
Damn! Welcome to the world, we
We've been at, war for years but much more clear (yeah)
We got to face what ahead
Fight for our truth and freedom and, ride for the

We survive, more than pride
We alive, ready to ride
